On Precise Correction of the Milky Way Dust Extinction
Extinction correction is crucial for understanding the intrinsic properties of celestial objects within and beyond the Milky Way, especially with Gaia’s photometric precision reaching millimagnitude levels. Leveraging millions of high-quality spectra and precise atmospheric parameters from LAMOST, we have achieved unprecedented accuracy in extinction measurements. Using the “star-pair” techn...

Studying cosmology and astrophysics by the synergy of RSD and kSZ effects
As one main target of cosmological surveys, the galaxy peculiar velocity field encodes information about the cosmic structure growth history and significantly contributes to the study of dark energy and dark matter. Its detection is typically made by the redshift space distortion (RSD) and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (kSZ) effects in cosmology. In this talk, I will present high signal-to-noise ...

Uncovering Early Galaxy Formation with JWST: A Modeling Perspective
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is transforming our understanding on galaxy formation and evolution, revealing distant galaxies deep into the epoch of reionization and uncovering red sources that were simply unknown pre-JWST. In this talk, I will discuss two key areas, with a focus on the challenges in modeling the spectral energy distributions in the JWST era. First, a central science go...

TOI-880 Has An Aligned, Coplanar Multi-planet System [EN]
We present the stellar obliquity measurement of TOI-880 c (TOI-880.01) using Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) observations obtained with the Keck Planet Finder (KPF). TOI-880 is a compact multi-transiting system with 3 transiting planets. Our independent analysis revealed that the host star is a K-type star. Planet b (TOI-880.02) has a radius of 2.23 ± 0.10R⊕ and an orbital period of 2.6 days; planet ...

Magnetospheric Radio Emissions: from Jupiter to exoplanets and stars [EN]
Jupiter's radio emissions have been intensively studied since their discovery some 70 years ago. Space missions have extended these studies to radio emissions from all planetary magnetospheres in the solar system. Main emission characteristics have been determined (source location, directivity, power, polarization, etc.) and their microscopic generation process elucidated (primarily the electro...
